AddSurfaceMapXYZC

AddSurfaceMapXYZC adds a new 3D surface map from a slice of a 3D grid. Returns a MapFrame object.

Syntax

object.AddSurfaceMapXYZC( GridXYZCFileName, SliceZValue )

Parameter

Type

Description

GridXYZCFileName

String

required; This provides the path and file name of the 3D grid file.

SliceZValue

Double

required; The Z-value of the XYZC slice to use as the layer's surface

Example 1

This example demonstrates how to create a map coordinate system named MapFrame followed by its corresponding surface named Surface from the 3D grid file named GoldConcentrationXYZC.vtk.

'declare MapFrame object and create a new 3D surface map

Dim MapFrame As Object

Set MapFrame = Shapes.AddSurfaceMapXYZC(GridXYZCFileName:=SurferApp.Path+"\Samples\GoldConcentrationXYZC.vtk", SliceZValue:=65)

 

'declare Surface object and set the reference to the 3D surface layer

Dim Surface As Object

Set Surface = MapFrame.Overlays(1)
